Is that common? I've not noticed people talking about this much before. Once I'm absorbed in something like Vivecraft or FO4 I can be in there all day. Seems to me that if it is common devs may need to take that into consideration and perhaps offer seated mode switching or something similar?

I have a PSVR and a Vive. There are more games on the Steam library, but most of them are... let's just call them "low effort" and leave it at that. I'm not saying there aren't some jewels in there, but sorting through the mess gets tiresome. Nearly all of the great games on SteamVR are already on PSN, or they're on the way.

As for roomscale, yeah it's pretty awesome. It's also tiring. Any game that doesn't have a seated option in my library probably won't get completed, with a few exceptions.

Is it worth it for you to invest in a VR rig? Right now? With Bitcoin jacking up the price of GPUs and RAM prices as crazy as they are? I can't recommend it unless you're just itching to spend a bunch of money. I bought in right before the second mining boom. If I hadn't, I probably wouldn't do it now, even knowing what I know today.

For what it's worth, the only gaming I've done in the last week is on my PSVR.

No, not really. I have a Vive and a PSVR and I honestly prefer the screen and comfort on the PSVR. The one thing that the Vive (and to a lesser extent, the Rift) do have a leg up on the PSVR is with tracking. For seated experiences it's not such a big deal, but when you want to move around in a bigger space, you need better tracking.

That said, I really don't enjoy roomscale games as much as I thought I would.

Most businesses had a legitimate use for computers back then. Most businesses do not have a legitimate use for VR headsets. HTC is spinning their wheels and squandering their opportunities, like they always do.

Almost certainly. You can't know what will work without trying a bunch of things. Some VR vendors will succeed, but most will eventually crash. The dominant VR experience need not be any of the ones currently on the market, either, just like the video game crash.

It also blows the Raspberry out of the water when it comes to performance and it's not a weird ARM SoC design that needs special kernel support, it's just x64 hardware that can run any recent Linux distro out of the box.
